Steve #Bannon Calls #ICE at Airports a Good ‘Test Run’ for Deployment to 2026 Midterm Polls https://alaska-native-news.com/steve-bannon-calls-ice-at-airports-a-good-test-run-for-deployment-to-2026-midterm-polls/83384/ > Bannon’s guest, MAGA influencer Mike Davis, agreed that ICE should be sent to polling places during this year’s midterms to ensure no undocumented immigrants are casting ballots.
#Federal #law bars deploying federal “troops or armed men” to polling places, except to repel “armed enemies of the United States.” #Elections are run by #states, despite #Trump’s calls to “nationalize” #voting in certain places.
“Sending #ICE or any federal agents to interfere in elections or intimidate voters would be unlawful, & I am confident that courts would step in,” said Wendy Weiser, VP for #democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice.
#SteveBannon suggested #ICE agents’ presence in airports is a "test-run" ahead of the 2026 #midterms
The high-profile deployment of #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents to airports has renewed support on the right & fear on the left about the possibility of ICE going to the polls in November.

President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice. Democratic leader Chuck Schumer criticized the president as hypocritical in response. Palm Beach County voter records show the president voted by mail in a Tuesday special election for state legislative seats and that his ballot has been counted. Early voting in the contest ran through Sunday, when Trump was still at his south Florida estate. The White House said Trump's focus is on states with universal mail voting, not on individual voters who need accommodations. Still, Trump has made sweeping claims that mail ballots are susceptible to widespread fraud.
